Pep Guardiola names his Champions League favorites after Manchester City win

Pep Guardiola believes Bayern Munich are the favorites to win the Champions League this season. Citizens celebrated a 2 - 0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday evening, with Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus scoring the winning goals for their side. This was the club's 19th consecutive win this term. However, despite his team's impressive form, Guardiola still believes the Bundesliga champions have more chances of winning the Champions League title. "In general, we controlled the game. Unfortunately today we were not clinical enough up front," he said. "That is something we have to improve in this competition. Up front, we have to be more clinical. In this competition, you have to be perfect to make sure you go through. "When I see Bayern Munich I don’t think we are favourites. My target is West Ham in three days. "If people say we are favourites, we have to accept it, but a team who, in their whole history, has been to a semi-final once? OK, they say it, we have to accept it."
